Get A Motorsport Thrill In A Race Car On F1 Summer Break

Get A Motorsport Thrill In A Race Car On F1 Summer Break - News

As Formula 1 heads into its summer break for much of August, motorsport fans can still get an adrenaline boost by actually driving a real race car.

With the on-track action paused for a few weeks, it's the perfect time to emulate your motor racing heroes - Hamilton, Schumacher, Verstappen - with DrivingExperience as your team principal.

Swap the TV remote for a race car steering wheel this summer as the chequered flag awaits thrill seekers wanting to put pedal to the metal in some of the fastest, and most outrageous, cars in our fleet including a real F1 monster!

F1 Real Deal

Driving a bona fide F1 car really is possible thanks to DrivingExperience. We've got the actual F1 Jordan that was driven by Takuma Sato. It packs an incredible 600bhp, producing a spine=tingling 10,500rpm. More than enough power for even the most seasoned track driver.

Safety, as you would expect, is first and foremost when driving such a wild car. This starts with a 30 minute safety briefing, covering racing lines, throttle and braking technique, together with track day safety etiquette. There's plenty of track action including training, reflex and sighting laps followed by the chance to drive behind a pace car.

It doesn't get much more real for F1 fans who can experience the thrill and excitement of the most glamorous motorsport in the world. Watching F1 won't ever feel the same again when it resumes at the end of August in the Netherlands.

Renault's Racing Pedigree

Ooh la la, there's French flair aplenty with our Formula Renault Thrill and Formula Renault Blast.

It's capable of rocketing from 0-60 mph in the blink of an eye (technically that's 2.7 seconds), and these cars are similar to those driven by many F1 idols including former world champion Kimi 'the iceman' Raikkonen.

Strap yourself into a carbon-fibre, single seater race car, complete with racing slicks and full aerodynamics, for the drive of your life. Driving the everyday runabout afterwards will, somehow, feel like a very sedate affair!

Blyton Park Driving Centre in Lincolnshire, Curborough Sprint Course in Staffordshire and Three Sisters Race Circuit in Wigan are the venues for these once-in-a-lifetime Formula Renault experiences. Très bon, we're sure you'll agree!

Thrills By The Thousand

There are a thousand reasons (not literally) to enjoy one of our F1000 Single Seater Experiences. The stats don't lie – it can thrust its occupant from 0-100mph in fewer than 5 seconds, pushed forward with 525bhp, making it one of the fastest single seater experiences in the UK.

There's also the chance to enjoy a high speed passenger ride in a track prepared sports car, depending on the experience booked, adding even more spice to an extraordinary day. What's left to say? This is the ideal experience for thrill seekers that's guaranteed to blow away the cobwebs!

Fast Four-ward

The adrenaline filled action continues in the fast lane with our F4 Blast and F4 Thrill, ideal for motorsport fans wanting to experience breathtaking acceleration and low-to-the-ground exhilaration.

Once again, safety is the priority and includes a drivers safety briefing before heading out on the circuit. Locations to enjoy driving the F4 Single Seater at include Dunsfold Aerodrome, East Midlands Heritage Circuit, Elvington Airfield, Lydden Hill Race Circuit and Prestwold Driving Centre.

Single Seat, Multiple Excitement

Our incredible range of single seater race experiences are packed with thrills and will live long in the memory. Don't delay, take to the starting grid today with DrivingExperience. And remember, it's only a few weeks until F1 starts again. Hooray!
